This is not an order of our members, but is a passion shared by and performed by our team. In exchange for the limitless practice help, advice & support we provide our artists and creatives, we expect them to do their part and assist us in upholding our core values.
This could be something as simple as cleaning items materials donated to us, so that we might re-purpose them creatively and sell as a commissioned pieces, auction them to generate revenue or simply re-donate them to other charities that are doing good.
